<p>Happy Wednesday, everyone. We've had a couple of hot and muggy days outside ... perfect for talking a (somewhat) willing victim into some indoor portrait lighting test work.<br /><br />Were you inside, or outside with your Nikon gear this past week? Share a photo!</p><div></div>

<p>Happy Wednesday Nikon Users. My image this week is of a <strong>Black-Crowned Night Heron</strong> that i took this morning near my house. </p><div></div>

<p>Good morning - I'm up early today...</p>

<p>Taken recently from a very small boat, nudging out into the Wash in Eastern England, with VR on!</p><div></div>

<p>I've been trying hard to take a photo of a Swallowtail. They never seem to stop. Tonight I chased one all over the place. I gave up and was shooting a dragon fly and this guy landed right in front of me and posed for just a second. Nikon D3, Nikon 105 2.8 ais, Kenko 2x, F16, 210mm, 1/60ss, ISO 800, sb 800 flask on camera with diffuser.</p><div></div>

<p><strong>Took this picture before a golf tournament. Some may find it too vibrant but I like it. Hope you like it too.<br /><br /></strong>D3s + 24-70 f/2.8 lens + Singh Ray BludnGold filter; ISO640, f/16, 1/60s; 32mm focal length<br>

<p >Hi everyone. Last year I witnessed an amazing game of football. This contested mark taken in the goal square produced the goal that won the match and put the team into the Grand Final (which they went on to win).</p>

<p > </p>

<p >Camera: Nikon D300</p>

<p >Lens: AF-S VR Zoom-Nikkor 70-200 mm f/2.8G IF-ED</p>

<p >Settings: 116 mm, 1/1000 sec, f/5.6 and ISO 360 (Manual, hand held)</p><div></div>

<p>Happy Wednesday, everyone! Here are some pretty flowers from this weekend.</p><div></div>

<p>D300, 18-200mm Nikkor Zoom</p><div></div>

<p>Just a fly for me...I seem to be in bug mode these days. Tomorrow I get my new Nikon camera gear, so I am very excited and eager to get it, learn it and love it. Happy Wednesday to all.</p>

<p>Lawrence...wonderful sky and color.</p><div></div>

<p>Happy Tuesday evening from Seattle. Thank you for all the support on this thread.</p>

<p>Matt...Very nice. Beautiful portrait. My test shots are sometimes among my faves.</p>

<p>Jeff...fabulous colors. Love the diagonal composition.</p>

<p>Bill...Gorgeous bird. The eye looks great against the blue sky.</p>

<p>Lawrence...No, not at all! Beautiful ...love the filter and vibrancy!</p>

<p>My contribution is from a recent shoot. I rarely get senior portrait shoots, but I lucked into 2 in the past couple of weeks. One of a young man...one of a young woman. Wow...very different critters...teenage boys and teenage girls. Very different in how they react to cameras! This young woman was so much fun. This is her hand made prom dress...it was pretty amazing.</p><div></div>

<p>Talk about hot and HUMID! Jackson Square in New Orleans this past Friday night about 10:30 pm. Street performer playing Pachelbel's Canon D on the glasses. Very different kind of photography for me, but I sure had a good time there! :D (Nikon D90/35mm 1.8 @ 1/30, f/2.8)</p>

<p>Nice swallowtail, Rick and excellent Macro, Jennifer. Not a black-crowned night heron but a yellow-crowned one, Bill. Now I need to go and dig for an image to post this week...</p>

<p>A very fine start to the Nikon Wednesday! Michael Mann said the the Miami sky was a character in his films. For me clouds are often part of the image but rarely the sole subject.<br>

Nikon as always</p><div></div>

<p>I seldom get pictures of birds or bugs but when I found out that this little guy had built it's nest in a door frame of an old house I put on my 70-200 at 200 and waited. Got both bird and bug.</p><div></div>

<p>Hello Everybody,<br>

another photo of my lovely client, this time I made it all playful for her, as she was a wonderful person and very serious for her age too, so this is just for fun. <br>

Taken with Nikon D700, 24-70mm f/2.8@ISO 200, f/7.1, 1/160s <br>

Have a lovely week.<br>

<p>I saw this outside my bedroom window tonight and went outside to photograph it.</p><div></div>

<p>I took some promo shots of a puppet for my workplace this week but can't release those pics yet, so here is a pic I took on my way to work on Friday morning. It was a windy morning and the air was filled with seeds from the trees.</p>

<p>Hello All<br />Facu Cruz playing the Sitar with Les Mentettes Orchestra, last week at 3 Ciudad Emergente Festival in Buenos Aires<br />D300+ 18-200@200mm <br />ISO 2000<br />f 5.6<br />1/50</p><div></div>

<p>Hello everyone...<br /><br />Thanks to Arthur Richardson, Chris Morris, Andrew Fedon for your comments last week :)<br /><br />I spent last weekend at Salzburg and really enjoyed it. After going around town on the first day, I scouted for a good spot for a night shot of the city.<br /><br />Here's a shot of Salburg at night.</p><div></div>

<p>Something about the way the sunlight came through the forest here caught my eye.</p><div></div>

<p>Hello Everybody<br>

Black and white doorway that caught my attention</p><div></div>

<p>Happy WedNEsDAy and Good Morning.<br>

It was after 8:00PM when the rain cleared and the day became beautiful. I was given a cart and allowed to go out on The Bear. You are looking back up the fairway from a hazard. Everything looked just about perfect.</p><div></div>

<p>salief keita, the lion of mali, came to san francisco last weekend...</p><div></div>

<p>

<p >Just got back from the show – Carole King and James Taylor at Madison Square Garden NYC 6/15/10. Excellent concert…a trip down memory lane.</p>
